Are you an experienced, fun and honest individual who loves going the extra mile to improve the lives of others?

Is it important for you to have a satisfying job where you feel supported?

If this sounds like you, maybe a Support Worker role with an award-winning charity is the change you\'ve been looking for!

We are currently recruiting for a new team member to support 8 individuals in their own homes in the Parkhead area of Glasgow.

For most of the people we support, this includes full moving and positioning support and personal care.

In the past, the people we support have faced a lot of challenges but this hasn\'t stopped them from enjoying life! They enjoy some of the same activities as each other, such as parties, arts and crafts, attending community events, shopping and going out to eat. However, they also enjoy their own individual activities, including listening to music and attending chapel and would love people with similar interests to support them.

Our staff team are very experienced and support with the above activities, as well as:
  • Medication
  • Cooking
  • Maintaining the homes and finances of the people we support
To ensure the people we support have freedom to do the activities they enjoy, our shifts start at 7am and finish at 9pm. We support these individuals 7 days a week, so require flexibility to work some weekends, nights and days on a rota basis.

We are currently recruiting for a full-time Support Worker for 37.5 hours per week

Your values:

The people we support like to be supported by people who respect them and their homes, but who also like to have fun!
